Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

HEY GUYS I HAD A GREAT IDEA: HOW ABOUT I STILL BE PRESIDENT

Heh.

Or, oh, shit. Please, please just leave.

Man, it's gonna get ugly. Someone needs to punch him in the head. Hard enough to remove him from office.

It's amazing how many supervillains have advanced degrees...graduate schools should do a better job of screening those people out.

I just noticed your tag, Steph. I think you're overlooking that maybe going to graduate school turns you into a supervillain.

Ascend already, Mubarak.

So, garlic cloves (minced, sliced, chopped, whatever) for a cold: does it work?

Not so much. Hot pepper does, though.

Ha! Very possible! (It's really just a Sheldon quote from S2 of Big Bang Theory.)

Hmm. I have no hot pepper, but 2 heads of garlic. I've heard that eating a raw clove helps with a cold (and that if you don't want to have serious garlic breath, to just chop it in large pieces and swallow them rather than chew them). So I chopped a couple of cloves and swallowed them. I figure it can't hurt. (I hope that isn't my epitaph: "She thought the garlic couldn't hurt.")

I think Mubarak has also been reading Dinosaur Comics. He's about as self-aware as T-Rex is, I suspect.

Today is day 2 of the BevMo $0.05 sale. Should I be conservative in my unemployment, or go stock up on yummy yummy wine?
